Summary0000155: Bugs with stars.tbl
DescriptionI had been told the limit in stars.tbl had been bumped to 0000019:0000150, but I found out that FRED2open will still only show as much background images as were permitted in standard FS2. I went to test to see if the actual game could handle said (150) amount of nebulas. I started the game only to find out that if any background image that will not show up in FRED is used, the game will crash after loading the mission. Now, I thought the bumping just wouldnt have been done, but I found out later, that the game will display any of the first background images (the ones that still show up in FRED) okay, and only crashes on those that come after the stars.tbl limit (which is still the same as in FSretail). Older builds simply do not show up ANY background images, if the stars.tbl limit is exceeded. So - the bumping has been (at least partially) done, but doesn't work.

there may be another #define that needs to be changed or it may have not been recompiled properly. i'll take a look at this.

bob or goob may have fixed this already

FRED build needs to be compiled, else this bug is fixed.

thats all? i may try to get it recompiled then :)

but im fixing the way the opengl functions are structured withing the project and its about 99% working. the only thing that doesn't work is that the lines dont draw, which i guess would be a problem in fred.

Yes, all that's needed is a FRED version that shows ALL the backgrounds in the drop down box. As it is now it only shows the first few (up to the number that retail supports) and the other ones do not appear in the box or on the background preview.

However, the actual in-game problems have been resolved. It's only left to bump in FRED.

phreak, OGL lines not drawing is a bug and happens in game as well. I've got a fix for it, just waiting on your changes to commit though.

i think you should email me the changes or post them in the internal so i can incorporate them. trying to cvs merge the two files will be hell.

so should we consider this not a bug and more due to laziness on our side of things? i want to cross off a bug so it looks like we're getting stuff done.

This is really two bugs anyway and both are either fixed or have a fix. Either way it's fixed, no reason to not close it.
